Travelers Lodge

The sink leaked, and there were bugs in the bathroom. They don’t allow service animals, either. Very questionable...

My friend thought this was a legitimate place to stay and booked a room here. When we checked in, it was filthy and uninhabitable, so he checked out right away and I drove him to a safe, nationally branded motel nearby. The property may look nice from the outside, but appearances are deceiving. It used to belong to a major hotel chain decades ago, then became outdated, was sold, and fell into disrepair. Locally, it’s known for housing transients, unhoused people, and people between housing.

During a really difficult time, staying here was a blessing. The quiet, peaceful stay was so pleasant, and everything was perfect or better. The kind people here made it feel like a five-star experience, with amenities and service at a bargain-basement price. It’s a jewel in the rough, and I’d say stay here, you may be pleasantly surprised. It’s in no way a one-star hotel, unless you mean the amazing price. Thank you. People saying negative things about this hotel have problems. This hotel doesn’t have problems.

The location isn’t bad, and I appreciated having a shower. The state placed me here because of code blue, and I hoped the reviews were wrong. It was dusty, but I could have dealt with that. What I couldn’t handle were the roaches: dead ones on the floor, then live ones coming out from behind the headboard and all over the bathrooms. After that, I slept in my car.
